What is the DSR Method?

The DSR (Dynamic Systems Rehabilitation) Method™ is a revolutionary new learning process to create meaningful personal and clinical skills in an increasingly frustrating and changing healthcare environment. At its core is a fundamental shift in relationship between and within the relationship of therapist and client. That shift goes beyond patient-centered care models and is truly Copernican in that while the two parties remain the focus, everything changes (i.e., the earth and the sun). In the DSR Method™ each arrive together as peers with something valuable to offer the other and with the expectation that they can work together to ease and prevent each other’s future suffering. Both are heroes/heroines and both are sages…not just the therapist as reflected in the new APTA brand. Both should emerge from the process healthier and more integrated than when they entered, not spent and left lacking as so often happens in today’s rehabilitation environment. Using the DSR Method™, both meet in a shared relationship of power and responsibility.

The DSR Method™ fosters intimate relationships of discovery in traditional health care and wellness settings. While there are techniques to learn, the major difference from other methods is the DSR Method™ is about the “how” more than the “what” is done in a healing encounter. Both therapist and consumer expand their personal knowledge base of useful, practical “actions” that are integrated within a broader, meaningful framework of their lives. Rather than the therapist being the one with all the answers, both work together discovering a richer, more clearly articulated meaning of the challenge. Together they select from the simple, effective tools of the DSR Method™ that serve as cycles of action that foster enhanced response-ability by both as they validate the tools utility in that unique circumstance…not by some contrived statistical “average” sub-group.
The balance of the therapist’s insight and the client’s active participation and reflection creates a refreshingcollaborative learning experience. The Method produces tools and an expanded skill set for flourishing within the current healthcare challenging environment by addressing marketing, treatment plan adherence and referral networking. Both the consumer and provider leave the relationship with new perspectives and skills thriving in our accelerating environment of change. The DSR Method™ is a scientific, transdisciplinary way to build order and meaning out of the chaos of health crises in traditional settings.
Changing your practice to the DSR Method™ will also change your life. The stagnation of day in day out repetition will be replaced by an unending cycle of dynamic and inspiring lifelong education. You will return or for perhaps for the first time arrive at what you thought would be your life as a healthcare provider. Your relationships will be richer with both clients and co-workers. You will a sense of business fluency and empowerment to achieve not only financial reward, but most importantly at the end of the day that what you did today mattered…both to you and those you served. And the next morning you are drawn to discover what you will learn today rather than what you have to “do” to get by.
